Emergencies

If you have a 911 emergency, call 911 first and call us next. For other emergency calls, call our office 312/280-1480. When we leave the office, we call forward the same number to an answering service; they will page us. If you've attempted to reach us and you haven't heard back in what you think is an appropriate amount of time, call back. When you call us, be prepared to tell us your child's:

name

age

symptoms

approximate weight

any medications he or she is on

any pertinent medical history

Have a pharmacy number ready just in case (we will need a date of birth to call in prescriptions). You may want to jot this information down before you call.

You can also check our website for further info on common illnesses, etc. You can use the toolbar to the left or use our "search bar" above,

For Tylenol, Motrin, and other non- prescription medication doses, please refer to the "Dosing Chart" located on the tool bar to the left.
